First elected in 1993 as the Member of Parliament for Lambton-Middlesex, Ms. Ur has been re-elected for two additional terms – 1997 and 2000 – in the redistributed riding of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex. Running with the theme of “Putting People First,” she is now seeking a fourth vote of confidence.

Since first being elected, Ms. Ur has been an active and respected parliamentarian, serving as the Vice-Chair of both the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food and the National Rural Caucus.

Between meeting with constituents and local organizations, attending community events and bringing various cabinet ministers to the riding, Ms. Ur has always remained focused on what is important – “Putting People First.” Accordingly, she is always prepared to listen to her constituents and bring their views to those in positions of influence in Ottawa.
